Chapter 15 Collecting Water Money

After all, it is not completely out of danger at this time, if the Zhongtang people really occupy the river warehouse, then it is difficult to say whether there will be warships following behind-------- this is not to chase and kill Lin Fengjin them, but to take advantage of the time when the news has not spread, the soldiers and nobles will quickly take down one or two more unsuspecting counties to expand the results of the battle, this is definitely not impossible!

The water here is gentle, the rain has gradually stopped, the sampan creaks and creaks to the front, and suddenly I see that the blocked place is a big river, the reeds on both sides are floating, the eyes are full of gray reeds, seven or eight small boats will stuff the river tightly, the boats are full of firewood and grass and other things, and when they are lit, they are fireboats.

The men on the boat were all dark-skinned, with their hands on their chests, standing in a hung manner, staring at people, looking lazy, and on the deck of a "Siming Tile" at the front, there were two groups of people arguing about something.

Li Hu is old in the rivers and lakes, and when he saw this situation, he immediately knew the reason:

"This is here to collect water money, look at this situation, it should be the people and horses of the bald eagle, these bastards and bastard water bandits, how can they make trouble at this juncture?"

Strictly speaking, most of the bandits here are fishermen, and the boats used to block the river look like they are fishing in and out of the river. However, there is a saying that relies on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to draft the water, these people will come out to barrage the river to beg for money when they are in distress, and they will scatter in a hurry when they encounter the ships of the government!

These fishermen are familiar with small boats, and if they follow them, they will definitely fall into the mud in less than half a mile, so they may not be able to catch up. And these people are also quite knowledgeable, and they don't limit the amount of money they want, as long as there is property in the bag, so the government also regards it as a small problem of scabies, and they have always turned a blind eye, and many merchants have pinched their noses and admitted it.

But in the past, they usually give money and leave, so as not to cause traffic jams? Lin Fengjin and his group heard the noise on the boat from a long distance, and suddenly realized:

"You guys are too outrageous, a ship is two taels of silver regardless of size, it's better to grab it directly. ”

"That's the price today, it's not negotiable!"

"The last time I came, wasn't it two hundred wen for a big ship and one hundred wen for a small boat?"

"It's the price of breaking the sky, either you just wait here, or you give the money and leave!"

"Tell the bald eagle to come out! Why haven't I seen you, are you begging for money like this? I'll post to the county when I go back!"

"This lord is whatever you want, just say a word today, give money to leave!"

“..........”

Hearing the quarrel on the boat, Lin Fengjin and Li Hu both realized at the same time that the price increase------- to be precise, it should be too coincidental that the lion's mouth came wide, and after their sampan approached, the guards on the boat all knew Li Hu, and they knew that they were all peers, so they pulled them up. Lin Fengjin walked directly to the front, looked at a tall and thin man in charge on the opposite side, and said very simply:

"Here's two taels of silver!

The tall and thin man was stunned for a moment, but immediately rolled his eyes, stretched out his finger and poked Lin Fengjin's chest, and his mouth full of big yellow teeth also spewed out a puff of smoke, and said contemptuously:

"You kid is the thing that leaked out of the crotch of your pants, dare to talk to our marquis like this?"

Lin Fengjin's eyes narrowed slightly, and then said lightly:

"Didn't you ask for money? I'll give you the money, and you won't give way?"

The tall and thin man, the Hou Ye, grabbed the silver, and then said disdainfully:

"You want to buy a road for two taels of silver? It's too late, and now it's up to five taels!"

The people next to him were in an uproar, but Lin Fengjin was not surprised, and said very happily:

"Okay, then I'll give you five taels. ”

Hou Ye was suffocated again, obviously he didn't expect Lin Fengjin to be so easy to speak, when he was preparing for another rejection of the topic, Lin Fengjin's eyes were already cold, and he grabbed the middle finger that Hou Ye used to poke himself with a backhand slap, and pulled it upwards with force, with a crisp click, and the Hou Ye's screams suddenly sounded.

At the same time, Lin Fengjin was even more ruthless, and the bull ear sharp knife held in his right hand had already stabbed into this guy's belly quickly, reaching the handle, and even his whole person staggered back two or three steps.

Lin Fengjin didn't pull out the knife, afraid that the blood splashed out would stain his clothes, and then made up for it, and kicked this guy into the water from the bow of the boat, because the relationship between the power of destiny had been opened, so in the process of slow motion, the distorted pain, panic and regret on this man's face were all clearly visible!

Why did Lin Fengjin want to talk nonsense with this "Hou Ye" before? Wasn't it to give Li Hu the opportunity they had prepared? As soon as he made his move, Li Hu was already expressionlessly carrying the ghost-headed knife that could be called a murder weapon, and he smashed three or four people like a bamboo! After falling into the water, he didn't even have a struggle, and directly stiffened and sank into the water, gurgling red out, obviously losing his life before falling into the water.

These water bandits obviously didn't expect Lin Fengjin to make a violent move, and they were so resolute, and suddenly the scene was chaotic, some screamed, some shouted to revenge in front, some were cautious and planned to escape, and some directly jumped into the water and planned to scuttle the boat.

Lin Fengjin took out a smooth pebble from his pocket, and then clenched it, since he used this thing to hit Pan Dongliu hard, he had a soft spot for this thing. As soon as he saw that one of the bandits on the opposite side was about to light the fire boat and push it down, he gave him a hard shot, and he was sure that his head was bleeding and he fell into the cabin and covered his nose and screamed.

Speaking of which, these fireboats used to block the road are all fishermen's small sampans, that is, they are pushed out to make a look, not to mention that the boats are burned, and since then there are no tools for digging in the water, and even the boats of firewood and grass are estimated to be transported from the side of their own broken stoves, if there is a shortage, the whole family can only drink cold water.

In such a situation, it is conceivable that more than half of the seven or eight barrage boats immediately dispersed with a "coax", and those rammed goods that had been on fire escaped faster than anyone else.

The remaining two or three diehards were beaten by Lin Fengjin with a few stones, but only one was ignited and went down the river, but it was held two or three feet away by the hands of the men who had been prepared for a long time with a mast, and it could not threaten the big ship in the slightest.

In this case, the rest of the guards on the merchant ship also came to help, and this kind of opportunity to beat the water dogs without risk and show their skills in front of the master's family must not be missed.

However, a few gentry looked at Li Hu, who commanded Ruoding after killing people next to him, and nodded secretly, as long as the brave and ruthless people pay as much as they want, they can sort out the rabble under their hands like a finger, but they really haven't seen anyone else except for the "General Li" in front of them, and they are already thinking about how to dig the foot of the wall in their hearts.

After solving the group of water bandits in front of him, Lin Feng knew that most of these people intercepted here were the shadows behind the Zhongtang Dynasty, but although the hands of the Zhongtang people were long, it was estimated that they could only do this. The main crisis is not in the front, but in the rear.

Then Lin Fengjin said hello to the ships in front, and then led his fleet to the front, looking at their anxious backs, some of the bookkeepers were shaking their heads and telling others that young people are not old, since everyone has met, they should go forward on the same road, and they should also rely on the large number of people to take care of it.

Just after Lin Fengjin and his party had traveled twenty miles smoothly, they suddenly heard a dull voice behind them, which seemed to shock even the heavens and the earth, and then a strange blue smoke rose up.

Li Hu was extremely experienced, and immediately said to Lin Feng:

"Young master, this should be the self-explosion of the Mo family's trap beast after it was destroyed, I have seen it once before, but the scale is not so large, among the ships that passed by just now, there is the fleet of the largest cloth merchant Wang family in Jianye, and only they can buy this level of Mo family trap beast......... It seems that the pursuers are really vicious and menacing. ”

Lin Feng thought for a while and said:

"It will take at least half an hour for them to plunder, and half an hour for them to catch up with us along the waterway--------- let all the men do it, and abandon all the coarse benzene belongings! If it is a warship that is chasing, then the draft must be deeper than ours, and it is really not good, and it will be no trouble to prepare to scuttle and sink the last four-sided tile. Thirty miles ahead should be to Meilingdu, where there are permanent soldiers, I don't believe that the Tang people dare to come here. ”

Next, a group of people really sailed down the wind and water, went directly to Meilingdu, and continued to move forward after paying the tax they deserved. There are two or three hundred people stationed here in Meilingdu, and there is also a team of crossbowmen who are famous in the world of Nanzheng, no matter how strong the chasing soldiers are, it is safe to delay for an hour or two.

What's more, the old housekeeper Liu also vaguely revealed a little "rumor in the countryside" to him through the generals he knew here, saying that the patrol envoy Xiang Lie and the county commander were both killed, and Hecang had been fallen by the inside and outside, so be careful not to be attacked by the Zhongtang people who pretended to be Hecang

Although the general listened to this as a joke, he was a little guarded in his heart, if he was still successfully attacked in such a situation, then Nan Zheng really deserved to die in the country.

After crossing the Meiling crossing, the people could finally breathe a sigh of relief, the speed of the boat was slightly slower, and the tired and half-dead pulppers also had leisure to sit on the deck, wipe their sweat with the towel on their shoulders, drink two sips of blackened bitter tea, and then take two sips of dry tobacco.
